Zenworks makes sense when you have a reasonable number of machines (>20)
and have the resources to setup a local repository that can sync with
external sources. In conjunction with Novel Directory Services it offers
formidable centralised workstation management capabilities. It makes
little sense on a single machine, or a machine sitting on a slow network
link or as a standalone. It really should be an option rather than a
default for the majority.

My kit is not exactly new (> 2 years old)  and I have so far noticed no
major performance issues.
